Most popular HA techniques deployed are based on making services
redundant, in particular by means of replication. This fits quite
naturally in the MySQL universe as the MySQL server has provided a
mature replication solution for around a decade now. Moreover, MySQL
Replication is also a very popular framework when it comes to scaling
out the datastore, both for read as well as for write operations when
deployed together with sharding. Because of all of this, it plays a
key role on many of today's data management infrastructures.
Therefore, MySQL Replication strives to keep on meeting the ever
tougher requirements of online services so that it can be deployed
together with them in symbiotic harmony. It is a well known fact that
MySQL 5.6 GA, includes an extensive set of new replication
features. Continuing this trend, MySQL 5.7 is also packed with very
interesting new enhancements. The next generation of replication
features are scattered over several technical areas, including: better
semi-synchronous replication; enhanced multi-threaded slave
performance; improved monitoring; online configuration changes;
options for fine tuning the replication stream performance; support
for more advanced topologies; developer friendly frameworks and
more. In addition, there is also ongoing work for exciting new
replication frameworks such as the MySQL Group Replication plugin, a
plugin that brings group communication techniques and database
replication together.
Seize the opportunity to learn about the new MySQL Replication
features' internals, all the technical details and the roadmap
itself. Come and learn what is already there in MySQL 5.7, how it
works, and what's still in the making. Lets celebrate MySQL
Replication.
